Key Players
When healthy, Tua is one of the AFC's most accurate passers. His ability to deliver on time and in rhythm makes Miami's speed-based offense extraordinarily difficult to defend.
Wilson's experience and football IQ give Pittsburgh a steady hand at quarterback. His ability to extend plays and make something out of broken situations remains valuable.
Hill remains the fastest receiver in professional football. His ability to threaten the defense vertically on every snap forces safeties to play deep, opening space for other receivers.
Watt is the most disruptive pass rusher in the AFC North. His ability to generate pressure on every down forces offensive lines to account for him with extra blockers.
